Ooooh, so close yet so far away. I appreciate what you've done so far, and give it a shot myself. To be continued, I hope...

Makki

I'll second that. I'm pretty much a glorified hack when it comes to the GUI excellence most of the guys here exhibit but I have a place, here, nonetheless.
So if a guy like me is welcome here, you're in!

To dislike Sinatra is a sign of highly questionable taste. To dislike the Beatles is a serious character flaw.

Makki, I think in this case, the comment was meant to be one of envy, not of an insult. And it is torture to show us a peak of FearPlat like that so I'll second the comment made (in an envious manner, not insulting).

Originally posted by DaveV1.0:Any chance of someone posting a link to those folder icons I've downloaded everything of Garret's site but I can't find them anywhere??

To set the record straight : you will find the Dock icons on my site, because I feel they're a perfect match to the theme I've been modding PLASTER.
Please note that the icon design is not mine though, but heylove's (it's all in the Plaster ReadMe file).

Is there a forum for modded guikit downloads? It's pretty frustrating to come here hoping there would be a guikit for download, then get discouraged because they are all just for viewing screenshots. Are there any in particular I'm talking about? Sure. There is the alien guikit, etc. but it seems as if these themes are not are not completed.

My questions are:
Are these kits going to be available to the public?
If so are they posted to this forum or another forum?

The modded kits that you are talking about are for personal use. The person who modded them doesn't have permission from the author to redistribute them. As for the Alien Ware mod, The Skins Factory said no go, it's owned by Alien Computers and is not coming out for the mac. Your best bet would be to learn Photoshop and start modding your own themes.

Thanks for the info Dave-o, wish the news would have been different. I know and love photoshop, I jusy haven't gotten into creating themesbecause it seems really difficult. Is there a beginner's guide?

BatMax.. Listen to eyevaan.. I have done a handful of mods, never a full blown theme from scratch.. it's really not that hard, just takes time and patience... the PS work is the easy part of the process, i would recommend using the export/import feature of TP to make things go more smoothly... Best of luck..

But you learn the most just by doing and if you still got problems just ask one of the pro themers - Email, AIM, or here. All of them are really nice people and do not bite at all. I can say this from my own experience.

I'm really just in love with this Brushed Metal theme. I bought ShapeShifter last night with the intention of running Rhapsodized, but I've since downloaded Milk and Brushed Metal and I like them better.

I would love to modify themes, but I don't know how to MOD an existing theme. When I load someones theme through shapeshifter, it appears as if I am editing THAT theme in Themepark, however it turns out when I make my edits and export to GUIkit and load the theme edit into SS it turns out to have my mods with some other theme... it's not the normal aqua exactly, not sure which theme it is.

Any ideas on what to do? I'd love to tweak specific colors here and there for my own personal use.

What you have to do is select "Merge With Installed Elements" under "Theme"
